Fear is a Deadly Enemy

Dismiss fear as a deadly enemy
As you progress along life's journey.
Have faith, Stretch outward heavenly,
And face each fork and turning.

Heavenly Father wants you to succeed
And to pray to Him, daily, for He is near.
He knows where you are going, all that you will need,
And where the sudden bumps in the road appear

"Fear is a deadly enemy of progress. Our journey into the future will not be a smooth highway which stretches from here to eternity. Rather, there will be forks and turnings in the road, to say nothing of the unanticipated bumps. Pray daily to a loving Heavenly Father who wants you to succeed in life."
